i've had to replace the reflector on mine. The black moulded part was cracked and the actual reflector broken. I found generic round reflectors at the local parts shop and siliconed it into the end of the moulded black section and siliconed the cracks in the black part up. It has been like that for about 5 years and works well. Your other option would be to get a secondhand one from somewhere.

Damn, I threw these out :cry:

Some guys run a reflector on the triangular tab hanging out from the side of the tail lights/rear bar

Hi,

I have seen these on E-Bay U.S. as a new aftermarket replacement.
They were not that expensive and looked OK.
Actually if you search wordwide on E-Bay for FJ40/45 it is surprising what parts are available overseas!

Cheers, Mat
